Sen. Specter says he's trying to lead the Republican Party

U.S. Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa) talked with WILK's Nancy and Kevin this morning about the economy, healthcare reform, his opinion on Rush Limbaugh, and the leader of the Republican Party. Specter criticized RNC Chairman Michael Steele on his recent flip-flop concerning comments about Rush Limbaugh. When asked who's leading Republicans, Senator Specter laughed and said he was trying to lead them, "moving toward the center, where American's want to be governed."

Specter was also critical of the man he'll face again in his next re-election campaign, Pat Toomey. He said Toomey was a man who argued for deregulation of Wall Street, and is a 'part of the problem' we're facing now.

Don't LEAD the party.

LEAVE the party.

You dottering old neo-socialist dirtbag.

Hey Arleen, lead the RINO’s out of the party, and close the door on your way out!

Lead, follow, or get out of the way, as they say. Clearly, he’s not going the right direction, he can’t follow the plan, so he should GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY! Frickin liberal POS.

Arrrrrrrrrghhhhh!!! Deregulating Wall Street had nothing to do with toxic subprimes stinking up the securities sold on Wall Street. It did not matter who was allowed to buy them, they were already toxic by subprimes, and for that, you can thank the Democrats!

Is that “lead” or “leave”? I’d prefer the latter.

But Senator, to move towards the center you would have to make a sharp right turn...
Specter is toast.
